Overview

Most planned giving shops have a marketing plan, but how effective is it? Whether you’re collaborating with a communications team or on your own, an integrated marketing and communications plan allows you to work smarter, not harder. An effective marketing plan will uncover unknown gifts, identify new prospects, and engage current donors—allowing you to demonstrate a tangible return on investment.

Join us online to learn how one institution has developed a strategic marketing program that both informs their donors and serves as an effective stewardship tool. Our expert instructor will share practical takeaways for implementing these tactics, regardless of shop size and resources.
